Garcia will retire after one final start in the Caribbean Series championship game, Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reports.
Garcia will be remembered more as a back-end innings eater, but he did occupy key positions on some of MLB's most noteworthy teams, including the 2001 Mariners that won 116 games and the curse-breaking 2015 White Sox. The 29-year-old will retire with a 156-108 record and a career 4.15 ERA while starting for seven different franchises in his 14-year MLB career.
